E3 2012 discussion

[davidw]

The one that has annoyed me so far and not just at E3 really - everyone and his dog keeps harping one about next gen - is this game going to be on next gen etc - and i'm getting really sick of it - next gen isn't happening yet and might not happen for years, what is the big deal, why the rush?

The Wii-U (WTF is that name) isn't next gen - it is what the original Wii should have been - plain and simple...

I wouldn't be surprised and i personally think that the next-gen won't be revolutionary but small steps in certain areas i think tech will be like for the foreseeable future - i think we have reached the point where tech just can't jump between iterations like it could before - we have reached the apex of what is currently possible - games couldn't really look much better than they already do - look at the likes of the Witcher 2, BF3 even Crysis 2 then to future games like Star Wars 1313 - this is truly as good as it gets and all this next-gen bull is getting to me...

Everyone in the games industry seems to want some sort of second coming or Rapture but in what sense - do they even know what they want?- it's similar to Blu Ray, i know there is 4k but that is years off and even then what difference will it make - make it look better, clearer - how do you define better, some of the blu rays out now look incredible how much better can they look before you don't see the difference? if the aim is to replicate real life it's almost there - you can't make something look better than it actually did in real life?

I'm quite upset with the lack of Valve that appeared on Spike/GT coverage of E3. Gaben was supposed to be on and then they ended their programming

Just coming back from show and gotta say this year is pretty lame for me
Nothing interesting to see
Resident evil 6 play like crap (Graphic is good BTW) I really love the game but aiming is too far off and ammo is too scarce compare to horde of zombie coming to kick your ass.
Most of the time I have to bashing melee to get through.

DOA 5 Great control silky smooth like DOA 3 and graphic is very detailed and female face look unique now.

Hitman really awesome

For CE I gotta say prepare to be rape by shipping because Street Fighter Box is really really big and awesome.





And for Alien Colonial Marine ...meh

Thanks for the pics man. Post more if you have

What about the tits physics?

I'm still waiting for a Soul Calibur X Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach volleyball


Did you play Metal gear rising? Most wanted 2? Tomb Raider? Last of Us?

I don't know if they have demos for these games there.

[bbki]

Ah.. I play dude (Bayman and hayate) so that is no juggling around sorry...
But not a lot of revealing costume when I play (probably DLC later on)

MGS rising is a closed section demo so you have to wait in line for like 45 min so I skip that.
the rest is just some of Wii u game and I didn't see any last of us on the show floor

I probably check it out again on Thursday.

@bbki Thanks for the pics The SF Anni looks awesomely huge! Worth getting every 25 years I reckon

I'm enjoying watching the live stream from PlayStation, gives us an insight of what it's like there [a bit], especially when we don't have a change of visiting

I was mostly impressed with Watch Dogs this year. Totally taken by surprise by that.

Also looking forward to Beyond and The Last of Us.

Reaaaaaaally disappointed there was no surprises from Sony this year. The only kind-of surprise (Beyond) was leaked in full a few hours before the conference. :| Oh well. Better luck next year. LOL.

Sony won E3 this year hands down. Nintendo and Microsoft press conferences were painful. EA was probably the weakest. Ubisoft felt like a dominating presence throughout E3.

It was probably the worst conference Nintendo ever did, there wasn't much new they have really showed and it was way too much Mario.

Microsoft and Sony wasn't so very exciting for me either, it was better than Nintendo their conference in my opinion because of the Halo 4 trailer and The Last of Us Gameplay trailer, also the Smartglass was very interesting.

From all the press conferences, Ubisoft wins in my opinion, totally with Watch Dogs, Rayman Legends and Assassin's Creed III, totally amazing games. :>
